((Posted by Mr Underby on May 18, 2010))
An immense black horse thunders down the railway from the north, its rider hooded and clad in black… the fog is ripped open as the great beast enters the Palisade Gate…

The rider enters the train station, and makes a sharp right. Waiting, on top of the manhole, is the riders small assistant. He takes the reigns as the rider, without a word, climbs down into the manhole, traveling toward Clockhaven…

The Underbys are together again.

Wakes from a restless sleep with a sudden anxious feeling, looks about for a bit and, not ‘sensing’ anything more, goes back to sleep.

Zaida woke up with a start as Kitty, out on the deck, let out a roar (a sound like a woman’s scream) then arched his back and hissed at nothing. Zaida jumped out of bed and ran out to get Kitty in off the deck. Then, she pulled her gang plank in from the dock and sprinkled some salt across the entry way, then again across the entry of her door. Then, she ran inside and lit a candle in front of her small statue of Mother Mary. Jumping back into her bed, she called Kitty to come lay beside her, but the big cat continued to pace up and down the length of the small house occassionally arching his back and growling. It was a very long night.

So, we have a dramatic entrance into the town; big black horse, fog ripped asunder, little assistants. But then we wind up traversing the sewers, sneaking into Clockhaven along the same pathways a rat would take. Just wondering…should I be impressed?

My methods were not intended to impress, but to make haste… with utmost secrecy. You are free to be either impressed, or not; I am not concerned either way.

A small packet arrives to Mr. Underby by way of a well dressed, but otherwise not-so-noteworthy young man acting on behalf of his employer. The packet is of the finest stationary, tied with azure ribbon and sealed with silver wax…the distinct impression of “W” in the seal.
– Mr. Underby,
It was most excellent to have finally made your acquaintence. Your arrival was most…unique and timely. I do hope that we will have it on the occasion to meet again. Please extend my warm regards to your wife, whom I have had knowledge of, but no opportunity to greet to our fine sooty city. And for that matter, please also accept my greeting and welcome on your return.
Respectfully,
Mr. W——

Wakes up with a start, looks around, yawns, shrugs, heads out to Gangplank to grab a tin of Rum, not caring about nothing but the Rum
Bugger that…I’m getting drunk.
